This is my second attempt at the BlogBattler’s January writing prompt “bucket”. My first effort proved to be a little too experimental even for my tastes. I might yet find a way to fix it and if I do I’ll post it. In the meantime, my second attempt is in every sense shit (~1090 words, a tad over the limit).
Well, this is a failed bit of writing. It was meant to be a drabble – i.e. 100 words. I blew straight through that with little hope of editing it back into line and to be quite honest I was having too much fun with it. Another failed experiment, but who says you can’t have a bit of fun on the way.
This is my entry for round two of the NYC Midnight – 250-word Microfiction Challenge 2019. The challenge, to write a 250-word piece of micro-fiction based on a Genre / Action / Word in 24 hours.
This writing prompt must feature a “safebreaker’s daughter” and is courtesy of Carrot Ranch’s weekly Flash Fiction Challenge. The challenge is the story must be 99 words. No more no less.
Yet another writing prompt. I’m always looking for new ones, god forbid I have to rely on my own gumption for impetus. This one is courtesy of Sonya’s Three Line Tales, you get the idea. This week’s prompt is the photo below. Why not pop over and check out some of the other great stories, or maybe even have a go yourself.
This week’s photo writing prompt courtesy of Sue Vincent’s brilliant #writephoto challenge is entitled simply “mirror”. Be careful when you go looking for a scapegoat.
Another week, another writing prompt courtesy of Sue Vincent’s #writephoto – Within. What lays within the rocky peeks?
This is a short story (<1000 words) for a competition organised by Michele Sagan and Robert D. McAdams. I’ve gone with sci-fi, which seems to be my flavour of the week. This is my first attempt at injecting some humour into a story. I wouldn’t call it a knee-slapper but hopefully it at least entertains.
